The Nightmare Before Christmas may be about a terrifying Pumpkin King who lives in a realm filled with horrible creatures, but between its lovable characters and catchy musical numbers the iconic holiday classic doesn’t frighten us. It’s not exactly heavy on the scares, you know?

We’ve told you about some of his great metal covers before, like when he did The Beatles’ “Hey Jude” and “Everything Is Awesome” from The LEGO Movie, but this might be his best yet. It feels like the perfect track for this style of music, creating a fitting homage to one of the movie’s best tracks.
